Wallet stolen

[STLantny]

I was at a gettogether last night, and I either lost my wallet or it was stolen. It was a small party, and I knew everyone there really well except for 3 people, 1 I knew well enough to assume he didnt steal it, 1 was that guys girlfriend, and 1 was this guy that was a friend of a friend, that I realized later no one really knew. After we scoured the apartment for the wallet and we all assumed it was stolen, I had to drive around the city waking people/breaking into their houses to get this guys address. Finally, I get it, and we go to his house at 5 am, and wake him out of bed, of course he denies taking it etc. I had about 100$ in it, and my credit cards (which are now cancelled), so its not a big deal, but I want to pay this fucko back. How do you suggest I get to the bottom of this, and what to do to the culprit.

pffff, $100 my ass. There was 3 bucks and a broken condom.

Just tell me where to send it back to.

Freakin' waste of my time.

how'd he get it out of your pocket?

[chesspain]

How can you be so certain that you didn't lose the wallet before you got to the party?

Furthermore, how would someone have stolen it from you at the party? I mean, are you accusing this guy of picking your pocket?

[STLantny]

Its not a normal wallet, its a credit card holder/ money clip, so I didnt have it in my pocket, I had it sitting next to my cell phone and my keys, well within view, but I didnt really pay attention to it/went to the bathroom. I really had no reason, or so I thought, to worry about it being stolen.

PS, I know it was at the party, because I took one of my business cards out of it, and wrote on teh back, and gave it to someone. But that of course was my first thought.

It took me a minute to realize that he wasn't referring to a party in a black neighborhood.

It sucks to have to deal with cancelling the cards and all... but if you didn't deserve this, at least you shouldn't be surprised it happened.

[MrTrik]

You left your credit cards and cash on a table at a party in plain view? Wow.

Well that sounds like pretty conclusive evidence. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It wasnt really a "party" party, it was 7-8 people, at a house sitting around drinking.

Ya, I assume so too, now, what to do about it? I would hate to throw a brick throught the kid's windsheild and turns out my wallet go accidently thrown away. Giving this evidence, and the fact that it only happened abotu 6 hours ago, where would you approach things from there. I was thinking of going back to my friends house, having one more good walk through of hte joint to look for it, then if I dont find it, basically sit outside the guys house till he leaves, and do a little investigating on my own.

If I did that my friends would have found an ingenious place to hide it to teach me a good lesson.
